How do I clean the inner barrels of my wheels?
Use a long, soft wheel brush or wool-style barrel brush that reaches behind the spokes, combined with a wheel-safe cleaner and iron remover. Clean barrels regularly, because brake dust bakes on quickly where it is hard to see. For a thorough deep clean or for coating, removing the wheels makes the job much easier and lets you inspect calipers and suspension parts.
